Counter plan — how to beat Kayn
Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives
Punish the cooldown — Kayn is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit high difficulty, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average
Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody

Methodology
- Data window
- 286,420 games on patch 7.3, Ranked, No public API. Last refreshed 25 Sept 2026.
- Rank aggregation
- No rank split. A derived sample has no brackets to pool, so none is claimed — the rates are the same sample at every rank.
- Role assignment
- A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
- Counters
- A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
- Minimum sample
- The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
- Why a build is not a cause
- The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
- Where the numbers come from
- Names, titles, classes, difficulty and ability names are read off Riot's official Wild Rift site. Lanes are this site's filing; items and runes are Wild Rift's patch 7.3 shop and rune tree. Every rate is a derived sample — Riot publishes no Wild Rift API, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.

3 years old. League of Legends: Wild Rift has been patched since, so watch it for how the kit plays, not for numbers — the rest of this page is written for the current patch.
It plays in YouTube’s own player once you press play. Nothing is downloaded or re-hosted here, and nothing loads from YouTube until then.
